“Christ gave himself a sin-offering for us, let us give ourselves a thank-offering to him. If a man redeemed another out of debt, will he not be grateful? How deeply do we stand obliged to Christ who had redeemed us from hell!”

Thomas Watson

“It was a far greater expression of love in God to give his son to die for us than if he had voluntarily acquitted us of the debt, without any satisfaction (payment) at all.”

Thomas Watson

“Christ’s Godhead supported the human nature that it did not faint, and gave virtue to his sufferings. The altar sanctifies the thing offered on it (Matthew 23:19). The altar of Christ’s divine nature sanctified the sacrifice of his death, and made it of infinite value.”

Thomas Watson

“He is no Christian who lives not much in the meditation of the mediation of Christ, and the especial acts of it. Nay; if our minds are not fill with these things–if Christ does not dwell plentifully in our hearts by faith–if our souls are not possessed with them . . . we are strangers to the life of faith.”

John Owen

“When men begin to satisfy themselves with general hopes of mercy in God, without a continual respect for the interposition and mediation of Christ . . . there is a decay in their faith and proportionally in all other evangelic graces also.”

John Owen

The danger of a less than human Christ is equal to the danger of a less than divine Christ.

Alistair Begg

“As therefore our true passover, which is the Lord Jesus, hath been sacrificed for us, let us daily celebrate the memory of it in a manner worthy of so great a grace.”

Stephen Charnock

“We should see no charms in sin that may not be overcome by that ravishing love which bubbles up in every drop of the Redeemer’s blood.”
